I didn't want to put my old content up because I agree with your sentiments on double dipping but I can understand other people who do this because it can be tempting to keep your work "eternal" on the blockchain. Though there are a few pieces I want to recreate to better suit Steemit, I agree that it is a better place for new and unique content & topics.
Your videos are great. Its my new source for Steemit news. You've created a great strategy for creating consistent and new, unique content. Keep it up
YT can take down your channel any time they want, besides, you spent time creating something so there is no reason to not try and sell it at a later date. If a painter has his works hanging in a gallery, is that a reason to not sell it to a paying customer?
I mean, I guess that's true, but also very different. Art is somewhat timeless, compared to say, blogs about cryptocurrency from 2012. I suppose it depends on what content you are putting out. Cheetah wouldn't exist if Steemit wanted you to repost from a previous source, but bear in mind that Cheetah can also only identify verbage, as opposed to video or pictures. I think even a mix of both is just fine, but as I posted to @spacetimebadass, I don't really think it's cool to just plan to use Steemit to copy and paste a year's worth of old blogs. I think that's pretty lame. And I realize some may disagree, but that's my stance on it.
Absolutely! I post both, some previously uploaded to YT, but also DTube exclusives. I have zero objections to you posting some of your old videos, both because they are timeless, and the amount of effort that went into making them. I guess you are right about time sensitive material from a year ago, there really is no point in posting that.
Yeah it's very tricky. I imagine there are lots of other blockchain websites available if people just want permanent storage for their content. I can see the temptation to just add the content here though. It's a new audience after all!
